You are not alone. Tons of people are nervous that their e-book
will be stolen and put on the black market (hmm, or the cyber
black market, I guess you?d call it). Now, stealing is never
right or fair, but in this case theft means one good thing, at
least they have heard of you! Cyber thieves or not, they know
your name and think your knowledge is coveted enough to steal
(again, I do not condone this, but there is always a bright
side, right?) There are a few measures you can take to
safe-guard your work from wholesale theft. If you use a good
shopping cart system, the download links that your customers get
to your e-books are good for only 24 hours. This will help
prevent someone from posting the link on a discussion board,
which would allow an unimaginable amount of people to download
your work for free.Another idea is to put links to your web
pages inside of your e-book. This is done often and is perfectly
acceptable in this form of publishing. You can jam pack your
work with links that will take readers directly back to you.
That way, if your book does fall into someone?s hands illegally,
they will still end up back on your site anyway.
